I should have been an invalid in the 1800s. I’m crazy for having a lap robe on at all times. It’s like I can’t really be comfortable without my shoes off and a blanket on my lap. So any room I spend a lot of time in ends up with an afghan. This one was for my room at Todd’s house. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the open weave keeps it from being as warm as I might like sometimes.

This is another pattern from A Year of Afghans Book 5. Actually, it was the first one I made from that book. I made this from Red Heart’s TLC yarn. I generally stick to plain old Red Heart – the really cheap stuff – but I wanted this afghan to be softer, which it is. Maybe someday I’ll have enough faith in my work to spend the money on some really nice yarn.
